Scawheat!!!!

[starhm]

i think subarus come preassembled as well....:rofl:

good luck and keep updating with pics...

[jonny-rockets]

sweet project!

[2mprzya]

o..m..g....! lucky! where did you get the engine and tranny, and if you don't mind me asking, how much did you pay?

[jonny-rockets]

^^ yeah, you can tell us! i saw your NASIOC thread where you stated you could not disclose that info, but im pretty sure you can dump it out here!

[BoostedTechnology]

haha, well if you want to know my own company :) this is going to be the company promotional car. Im speaking with bulldogg about my vendor status as we speak

<-- N8wrx on new profile

[GrassyKnoll]

love the name

[2mprzya]

alright, how can i go about having you order me one? how much, how long, do you help with install?

[Nate8409]

Install... I would suggest a prefessional.

Wiring for the motors is different.

[BoostedTechnology]

Hey guys, as far as getting these i can get more this whole setup cost me around 13g, but i got a few extra things that you dont see int he pics. The engine/ tranny/ brakes with all the accessories cost is depending on avalibility send me a PM with more specifics of what your looking for and i can get you some real quotes. As far as installs, yes we can help and the wiring really depends on which engine/ car combo that you get. A v7 engine to a 2002/2003 wrx is actually very simple.

[Nate8409]

sooo You have the JDM ecu too and all the dccd wiring?

[BoostedTechnology]

Yes i have the JDM ecu and the v7 transmission we have did not come with DCCD only select v7 and the v8 transmissions have the DCCD.

[Nate8409]

Sweet sounds like a good deal then. I would love to have the STI cluster and a real working DCCD.

[BoostedTechnology]

I also got the v8 cluster with mine, i can get v7 or v8 the differences are the v8 has the sweeping red gauges like the USDM sti and the v7 looks similar to the normal WRX cluster. I can also try and find a DCCD transmission, along with a v8 longblock if you wanted one of those.

[Nate8409]

I have a DCCD transmission right now.

out of USDM 04 STI.

Do you have hook ups for JDM parts? Like the carbon baulk rings and shift forks?

[BoostedTechnology]

I can get quite a few JDM OEM parts, i have a couple different importers im working with, id have to give them a call to see if they have some of those items in stock.

[Nate8409]

You get the same stuff as Japan parts?

I want to pick up the transmission plastic under cover but they are mad expensive on their site.

[BoostedTechnology]

really depends on avalibility, the guys i use only goto japan to pick up stuff every so often so when they come back they have a larger inventory than before they go back. If i have a order for something when they go there I can probably get it for you no problem. Right now they have another whole v7 sti that they disassembled and have all the parts from that like drivetrain, interior , and exterior bits. Give me a pm if theres something specific youd like and ill go on the hunt for ya :)

[BoostedTechnology]

UPDATE!
so i got some new stuff! :)

[Nate8409]

The black interior pieces are great. I have always wanted to do that but what paid will stick to the plastic?

What did you do with the roof to color it? Some kind of stain?

[2mprzya]

dupli-color has a paint for plastic, and they also make a fabric dye. I will be doing this soon, although i'm thinking of wrapping the headliner in suede.

[jonny-rockets]

i'm thinking of wrapping the headliner in suede.


o0o that sounds quite sexy

[2mprzya]

yeah, i just cant find a place that has any in stock. any ideas kids?

also, check out http://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1446491&highlight=black+interior

[BoostedTechnology]

I used 800 grit and 2000 grit sand paper for the pillars with krylon fusion black from walmart. The headliner i used the duplicolor fabric and vynil spray and i got that at autozone but its like 7 bucks a can :eek: and the headliner took me 3 full cans of it and im thinkin about doing another coat. Ill write up a little how too, i have pictures from the process. Get that on here later tonight for you guys.

[unsakred]

yes please^

[BoostedTechnology]

if this had not come out so well i was going to do a suede also... you can find it at joanne fabrics i believe it is by the fox run mall.

Also seeing tho this interior came out so well, would anyone be intrested in me offering this as a service from my company? If so let me know, if not let me know too id like some feedback on that and anything else you guys might want done.

[BoostedTechnology]

Here is a small DIY write up i promised you guys!

tools: Screw driver, 17mm or 11mm socket i forgot? and ratchet, 3-4 cans of krylon fusion spray paint, 800 grit and 2000 grit sandpaper

first the pillars...

1- Remove all parts to be cleaned and painted
- A pillars are easy snap in clips
- b pillars will require you to remove the seat belt clips and use a socket to remove the metal brackets, i believe this is a 17mm? i forget :D. Then to remove the pillar itself you will need to slide this upward towards the headliner removing it from the bottom plastic piece.
- c pillars will require the same removal of the seat belts and these afterwards just use clips to hold in like the front a pillars
http://img527.imageshack.us/img527/5603/dsc00048ww6.jpg

2. cleaning
- you will want to clean these, they dont look that dirty but you would be surprised and any dirt of oily grease junk will cause the paint to not hold very well. I used some simple soap, water, and elbow grease (take care as not to get the elbow grease on the pillars :lol:)
- sit back with a beer and watch them dry!

3. prep for paint
- I went to the local store and got me some 800 grit and 2000 grit sand paper
- First i used the 800 grit to rough up the surface, keep in mind if you sand there are partials that will be left from the sanding, these will need to be cleaned again (see step 2 note not too many beers as your product might come out looking funny :lol:)
http://img134.imageshack.us/img134/626/dsc00051gb3.jpg

4. PAINT!
- first coat is more like a primer coat than anything, this coat dosent matter, its to get something down for further coats to adhere to, any rough marks, paint globs do not matter yet.
- After the first coat let dry and get out your 2000 grit sand paper and go to town, any extra globs of paint, nasty parts that just dont look right etc. take them down with the sand paper (note keep in mind that the pillars have a stock ripply surface if you sand too much it will look flat and funny compared to the rest of the pillar)
- second coat, apply evenly using very smooth strokes afterwards revert back to sanding
- and a third coat! after this you shouldnt need to do anymore sanding unless you messed up your paint, just take your time and work with the can smoothly (note if you start the spray paint off the edge of the pillar on paper then move it to the parts things will come out looking much better, you might also try suspending the parts from the ceiling like I did using some wire, a nut and bolt.)

[BoostedTechnology]

Headliner

tools: screw driver, 3+ cans of duplicolor fabric spray (i got this at autozone)

1. removal
- to remove the headliner you will need to take out the following:
Visors, front and middle light domes, oh **** handles, snap in clips in front and rear

-after removing all these items the only thing holding in the headliner is the rubber door molding, be careful as the headliner is cheaply made and could be damaged very very easy.

- you will need to put your 2 front seats down completely for easier removal of the headliner out the door, otherwise good luck getting it out without breaking it!

2. Prep
- not much to do here, simply make sure the headliner is clean of all foreign objects, might want to use a small hand held vacuum to remove dirt

3. Paint!

- You will want to make sure you put the coats on very evenly, getting a spray attachment can make this a bunch easier but I did mine without. I went through 3 cans of this fabric paint. Make sure you use the method of starting the paint off the liner then slowing making back and forth motions onto the headliner and all the way across or its going to come out looking funny

[WinterKnoll]

That's awesome. I've wanted to spray my liner black for awhile, but I'm still a little scared I might **** it up lol. Thanks for the writeup, maybe I'll try it some time.

[BoostedTechnology]

like i said in a previous post, i will offer this as a service if people want me to do so. wouldnt be too expensive, cost of the paint is like 25-30 bucks for the head liner, let me know if you would like this as a service I can offer and what you guys think a fair price would be, ill get some spray attachment if anyone else wants it done.

[wagonmafia]

you can do my headliner. Its out of the car and ready to go. Where exactly are you located?

[Kevin]

I wouldn't mind doing my headliner too

[BoostedTechnology]

Im located in Sanford, southern maine about 15 mins or so from the NH border.

[BoostedTechnology]

few more pics for you guys to look at, final resting spot before it gets dropped in.

[Robk0000]

can i have the whole setup for $55?

[Nate8409]

I would make love to your strut bar.

Yum Yum

[BoostedTechnology]

hehe if u add 3 zeros on the end of the 55 ill THINK about it haha J/k... i can get another for the same price I got this for If you are interested in one. I can also get more of those strut bars so you can make love to your own :)

[Robk0000]

im actually interested in geting a 2.5L wrx motor and then going with a vf34 or 39. And i have a budget of $5, id be doing the install myself along with a few on here, but i would like to have ECS do the wiring, because this is my only vehicle, and i would like it done in 1 or 2 weeks.

[BoostedTechnology]

well if you would like a 2.0 liter 03 wrx engine i have the one coming out of my car this sunday id give you a good deal on it.

[Robk0000]

I would be interested, for a good price anything is possible. Specs on the motor? mileage, what it comes with etc.

[Robk0000]

Do you need a hand with the install or would i be kissing to much ass? for a discount, lol.

[2mprzya]

i can get another for the same price I got this for If you are interested in one.

and that price would be...?

[BoostedTechnology]

I was looking in the range of 1750 for the 2.0 i have, it would come with pretty much everything you need it has 74k on it. Mobil 1 full synthetic every 2500 miles, only seen a APv2 stage 2 map reaching 17 psi. Im sure we could work something out tho, if you wanted more items i wouldnt charge you much of anything for em or anything at all depending on what you wanted.

As for another V7 swap PM me with the items you would like, I got a complete swap but i can get just the engine or tranny or brembos if your just looking for something specific.

[BoostedTechnology]

BTW we are ripping out the engine this sunday, your more than welcome to stop by if you would like PM me for directions... we will be starting early, and tomorrow I will be removing alot of smaller items like TMIC, radiator, battery, just to prepare.

[Robk0000]

pm sent.

[BoostedTechnology]

Ok so today i made some good progress. Everything but the engine is out of the engine bay, need to wait for tomorrow morning to grab out the engine as i need a extra set of hands to guide. Ill post up some pics as soon as i can.

[BoostedTechnology]

Here are some updated pics....

Nice yaro, keep updating. Give me a call if you wanna cruise up to Bethel,ME with us on your ricer accura :) in case you forgot it's Rally of Maine next weekend. If not maybe at least I'll stop by on the way to check your build.

[jonny-rockets]

wow those rims are purty

[unsakred]

wow i love the powder coated pieces, how much did that run you? or did you do it yourself?

[Murphy2012]

Not a huge fan of the wheels, but the powder coated parts look real nice!

[ValuePack]

in case you forgot it's Rally of Maine next weekend.

Are you going, Vlad? I think Amy and I are packing up the little one to give the Forester it's first taste of dirt... we haven't been for 5 years now. My 3yo daughter needs a good rally initiation by airborn silt.:)

[BoostedTechnology]

Powder coat cost me nothing, i have the facility's to do it for free for myself, If anyone would like powder coating done this is a service I do offer for a small fee compared to other places, PM me with what you want PC'ed and ill get you back a price. As for the rims ive been looking for a set that has a blue lip forever, they match what I want on the car perfectly except id rather have 5 spoke but they still make me all fuzzy inside :)
